Seven News Brisbane Shane Webcke will depart the news desk presenting sport from January, but remains with Seven for NRL insights.
It follows discussions with management to reduce his work hours and allow more time for the family business.
“After 18 years presenting sport for 7NEWS Brisbane, I’ve made the decision to take a slightly new direction and from January I’ll be stepping back from the news desk,” he said.
“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, to allow me greater flexibility and more time to pursue my family agricultural interests.
“But I’m not going far. I’ll still appear regularly on 7NEWS alongside my good mate Gilly, providing rugby league insights for our viewers.
“I have been treated so well over the last 18 years, and I’m grateful to Seven for supporting me through this next phase.”
His upcoming departure from the news desk follows recent Brisbane changes including the exit of Sharyn Ghidella.
